Western River Expeditions launched a new five-day/four-night Salmon River Canyons Family Magic rafting trip that caters to families with children as young as 5 years old. The staff includes not only accomplished guides and camp hands, but also a designated River Jester whose sole duty is to lead nature-oriented games and activities for kids and teens. Parents and grandparents may choose to join in the fun, or spend adult time together knowing that their children are well attended.  River Jesters also assist with a special kids’ dinner each night and lead stories and songs around the campfire. The special kids’ dinner time allows adults to enjoy a quiet social time before their dinner.  Children are welcome to eat at either or both meals.  The nature of the river canyon and the 74 wild and scenic river miles lends itself to ideal conditions for families with young children. This lower stretch of the Main Salmon River as it merges with the Snake River is characterized by huge white sand beaches, playful “pool and drop” rapids, great riverside hiking, rich and fascinating Nez Perce Indian and pioneer history, and warm water for swimming.  River jesters will also be onboard trips down the Green River in Utah as well.
